Subject: [THIN] Xenapp 6, Office 2010 and Oracle ODBC
Hi List,
recently we have migrated to Xenapp6 into Hyper-v environment.
We have installed Office 2010 32 bits edition because Microsoft recommends
32 rather than 64b.
Anyway, we also have ODBC oracle 10g release to access Oracle server, we use
others programs to access and works fine.
But, the problem is to access from Office (normally excel) to Oracle using
ODBC.
I have tried many many thinks but I cannot fix the problem.
ODBC administrator can only be configured from
c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe
Using this I can configure and test connection, and connection is
succesfull.
Moving to Excel and trying to access data from ODBC connection is not
posible.
Has anybody faced this problem?
Thanks
